The European Union and Serbia say they have reached a deal that could pave a way for the Balkan nation to join the World Trade Organization this year or next.
EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht, who signed the agreement, says Serbia is making strong progress toward WTO membership, “and the EU remains a strong supporter of its swift WTO accession.”
Serbia has been trying to get into the WTO since 2004.
Deputy Prime Minister Mladjan Dinkic said on Tuesday that the accord with the EU, Serbia’s largest trading partner, represents a significant step closer to the final goal. It will help Serbia finalize negotiations with a number of other countries, including the United States, he said.
